Sandoz

Sandoz is the world's largest manufacturer of biosimilars and generics. The company's history began in 1886. At that time, the company was engaged in the production of industrial paints. But a few years after its formation, the company switched to the production of medicines. The first product was antipyrine, followed by the production of sweeteners.

Sandoz is currently part of the Novartis corporation but operates independently of its parent company. As of 2020, it is the world's largest manufacturer of generics.

The company operates in four main areas:

• prescription drugs;
• over-the-counter drugs;
• biopharmaceuticals;
• drug delivery systems (inhalation systems, injections, transdermal patches).

Sandoz's successful expansion continues. In addition to providing a huge number of patients with effective medicines, Sandoz has established the socially significant SARI programme. This programme includes educational activities on the rules for taking antibiotics.

Consumers have appreciated such Sandoz products as:

• Exoderil – an external remedy for the treatment of fungal infections;
• Amoxiclav – a broad-spectrum antibiotic;
• Buspirone – an antidepressant;
• Metformin – a drug for lowering blood glucose levels;
• insulin pens.

All products are of high quality and reasonably priced.
